I ordered a $350 camera from them. As with others, the next day they sent an e-mail asking me to call to confirm that it was me placing the order. When I call I get a very rude man speaking broken English saying that I would need to pay another $90 to get the battery and charger for this camera. Kept having to have him repeat what he was saying to finally figure it out. He got very upset that I couldn't understand him. I said I would think about it and get back to them. Did some research and read what people were saying about them doing this. I called the next day to cancel the order. Foreign guy says it was already shipped. I received the camera including the battery and charger without paying any additional $90. Was all a scam to try to get more money out of me. Very shady company.
I had a negative experience with DeltaCloseouts as well. Ordered NEW Nikon camera... a day later, email to call them because something was 'an issue' with my order (missing code from credit card... total lie) And while they had me on the phone said that the camera I ordered didn't include the battery that I can buy from them for "only $29.99") I smelled a scam since every other site lists this camera as including battery and I said as much to the (rude) sales rep on the phone. He got all indignant and said 'Fine, we'll cancel your order' to which I said that was what I wanted anyway. I was ticked off so I called back to sales manager and relayed my story... but the sales manager just told me 'so what?' and blew it off. I had to contact them a day later to request an email confirmation of the order being cancelled. I was so glad I did, because then I started hearing about other buys being scammed by them, even though their negative reviews were not showing up on the site I found them at in the first place (RateRetailers.com). I reposted mine again three times and yet, it's still not there. I emailed RateRetailers.com about the issue twice and they haven't responded at all, which makes me wonder about them being a crooked organization (or perhaps run by Delta Closeouts?). I'm trying to get the word out about them from any other site that I can. Which is why I'm posting this here.
This is a typical "bait and switch" business. If you order a listed item, you are requested to call and verify your order. You are then told you ordered the "overseas" model which does not have all the features of the "US" model. For another $150.00 or so, you can get the "US" model.
